[HOWTO] Kill/Change the TERRIBLE T-Mobile Startup/Shutdown sounds

This post assumes you have root
Instructions:
To change your bootup sound remove/replace :
Code:
/system/etc/PowerOn.wav
To change your shutdown sound remove/replace :
Code:
/system/media/audio/ui/PowerOff.wav
Hope that helps!
On a side note, the shutdown animation is stored in :
Code:
/system/media/video/shutdown/shutdown.qmg
and the startup animations are in :
Code:
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
but I have not tried removing them (pretty sure it's safe if I remember correctly from the vibrant)

Can someone post the stock sounds and animations

And lastly, the collection Zipped.

Does anyone have the Bionix startup/down sounds from the vibrant saved anywhere (Sounded like a lady talking)? That would be great. My search turned up one post but the link is dead.

Found it if anyone else wants it! The megaupload link still works. I didnt flash it but if you unpack the zip the audio files are in there. You will have to convert the shutdown to wav, it is currently in .ogg format. Move them to the folders listed above and make sure they are named to the file name you are replacing.

So to change the boot animation do i rename the bootanimation.zip to bootsamsung.qmg?

No, this is not possible yet. Once a kernel is made that will allow bootanimation.zip you will then be able to change the boot animation but not now with stock.

I've renamed the files to bypass them during shutdown/startup but there is still a delay. Is the startup delay part of the system loading or is it programmed to allow for the t-mobile startup animation? Basically, I'm wanting to know if there is a (simple) way to remove the blank screen delay when booting.

Replacing Files
I can see the files in Root Explorer - How do I go about actually replacing the files? Is there a command line utility? The directories mentioned are not visible in a windows explorer environment... Do I need to change the file and folder permissions using root explorer? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just rename the files in root explorer. Put a " 1 " at the end of the files eg - bootsound.apk1 - it'll make the file not work and you can always delete the 1 and get the sound back.

If using root explorer, press the R/W button on the top of the app. It'll make the file system writable.

The devs do all of this for free, remember that. Buy them a drink! ♥

it's actually the vold binary found in /system/bin/vold from cm7 ;-) you'll have to change permissions on it once you push it back to /system/bin/ (i just did a 777), then reboot
that's just to have the sdcard properly mount at both /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard. if you wanna do the mass storage you'll have to download the app and do the commands i'm not really a fan of it because unlike other devices, every single filesystem present on our device will mount with the app, so system and data and the sdcard will mount and create like 8 windows on your computer

So the zip file above does the sd card mount with that update or not or is a new update file imminent.

Any hints as to what is or isn't working? At least a vague Idea? Wifi?

The zip above was only meant for other devs to see if they could get the sdcard working but now it's working.

Wifi works. Video playback (Netflix) and some audio (in Angry Birds) doesn't work. Runs pretty good though.
I'm so excited. Thanks for all your hard work guys.

I've had some random spouts of sound working. sometimes the keyboard will randomly start making those key noises, and it's started working playing angry birds before, but not for long.

when could you upload a new zip with sd card fix? I'd try a crack at it myself but don't want to mess up anything.

Excuse me for being blind, but how do I get to the Trebuchet settings?

Could you make a flashable zip where the sd-card is working please?

Flashable zip with working sd, the launcher from CM9 and the USB mount app. I haven't tested it yet (i am about to flash it). If this isn't allowed then please remove it.
Basically its got vold added to bin, the set_perm line in the updater-zip for it, trebuchet in /system/app and the ICS Usb mounter apk in /system/app.

I flashed this over the last one with no problem. However the USB Mass Storage Tools don't work. I keep getting an error: "You cannot enable UMS without a USB connection."

When it boots you need to do the following:
Check set as default then select:
Trebuchet
com.cyanogeonmod.trebuchet
If the USB mounter comes up just press the back button at the bottom.

How exactly do you set permissions to 777? God I sound like a noob. Lol

I also get the error as well, going to see what it is now. (usb mounter ums)

If you use my zip you dont need to set the permissions. However if you are doing it on the device (the way described in first post):
adb shell (or terminal emulator)
chmod 777 /system/bin/vold

If you use adb: adb shell chmod 777 /system/bin/vold
If you use Root Explorer, check all nine boxes.

A official alpha would be nice it's abit confusing as who is in charge on this rom seems live everyone is having a dabble here and there for a fully working rom.Good work though guys.

[HELP] Cannot install APKs to /system/app via push

I am using AOKP M3 with Black Exodus theme installed, but I doubt that matters.
This is so frustrating. Regardless of the system apk I am trying to install, it NEVER shows up in the app drawer. Here are the steps I use.
adb remount
adb push [Systemapk] /system/app/
make sure permissions are set to rw-r--r--
reboot (shouldn't have to, but doesn't do anything)
I've installing multiple different system apps but it never works. NITROZ kindly made a zip for me, but it's app specific and I shouldn't have to use it.
Any help is greatly appreciated

stupid question but have you checked the permissions on system/app/ ?
I would of thought rw rw r !!

Wow, you have got to be kidding me. It doesn't work with ADB, but when I cut/paste using root explorer it works.
ARGHHHH. Well, at least I got it somewhat working.
And yea, adb devices lists my phone.

Scratch that. The root explorer method worked once and now nothing.
I have rebooted. Tried with sign and unsigned apps. Modified permissions. ARGH!

Maybe u can help. I have cm9 music apk on my SD. It says in es explorer cut and paste to system/app. Is that a folder. I can't find where to paste the apk to. Do I paste it to a folder? Please help. I'm still learning.

CM9 music does not need to go in the /system/app folder as it is not necessary. If all you want to do is use the app, just leave it where it is and click to install it.

make sure you tap the Mount R/W button in Root Explorer when you are in the system/app folder. It should be somewhere at the top of the screen. Then you should (in theory) be able to copy anything to the system folders.

[Q] Where is my nandroid stored? [Solved]

Hi, rather basic question here. But I have CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery and I make an occasional nandroid backups with it. But I couldn't seem to locate where these backups are stored and how to clean them out.
Everything usually goes to the "SD" card at /storage/emulated/0. But I looked under "clockworkmod", "Android", etc. Could not find where these backups are hidden. CWM does not have the option to delete these backups so eventually I just end up with alot and I worry about running out of space whereever its being stored.
Edit: Solved. Its in data/media/clockworkmod/backup, but need a root file manager to see browse to that directory.

Try this to locate it

Data/media/clockworkmod/backup

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

I have nothing under the /storage/emulated/0/data folder.
Couldn't find it even with the DiskUsage app.
In CWM recover, its supposed to be under /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup, but I cannot find that directory at all.

It doesnt save them to the SD Card. As mentioned above, starting from the root directory, look in data/media/clockworkmod/backup.

"/data" is empty for me.
But I know that I have at least 3-4 nandroid backups in there and I've even restored too. So I know that they do exist.

What version of Android are you running?
---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------
And you should have stuff in the data folder wether you have backups or not. There should be system files in there as well. I have a feeling you are looking in the wrong data folder.

So I'm running android 4.3.1 (vanir).
Little confused, there are 2 "data" directories:
/data is empty
/storage/emulated/0/data has 2 folders: colornote and TitaniumBackup. But even in this folder, there really isn't much, the titaniumbackup folder is also empty.

Can you post a screenshot of the directory you are looking in? The data folder you say is empty. It should have a lot of system folders in there. You saying its empty is confusing.
